Hailed as cinema's first martial arts hero and a cinematic bridge between the cultures of East and West, Bruce Lee helped put Hong Kong on the movie world map.
So why are some in the city marking the 40th anniversary of his death in a toilet?
'In 1958, Bruce Lee was a student at St Francis Xavier's [College],' Wong Yiu-keung, chairman of the Bruce Lee Club, explains.
'One day, he was caught in a fight in a washroom by one of the fathers.
'But the priest also boxed back in his home country. So, he didn't punish him. Instead, he invited him to the boxing classes. Lee later participated in an interschool competition and won.'
The incident was significant in Lee, who died from swelling of the brain aged just 32, deciding to tunnel his love of martial arts into something positive.
A short time afterwards he opened a martial arts school in the United States, where he was born.
Fans of Lee will visit his Hong Kong alma mater this weekend as one of several stops on an unofficial 'Bruce Lee trail' in the former British colony, where the star spent his childhood.
Other points on the walk include Lee's statue on the Avenue of the Stars and the Bruce Lee Club house, both in the Tsim Sha Tsui neighbourhood of the southern Chinese city, which is without a permanent museum dedicated to the screen legend.
Fans will also take in a monastery in the New Territories which feature.
